hi.. i'm so confused and i would very much like to hear your opinions. i was on BCP for year and half and went off 9.6, the day of my last pill bleeding.. i think i ovulated on 26.6 because oflots of EWCM and cramping. cramping is lasting 3days already.

2DPO my nipples start to hurt, and today 3DPO its getting worse. is it normal to cramp that long? and why is boobies soreness getting worse ?

we use pullout method, cause we are not trying not preventing. we are beeing careful anyway. i doubt i'm pregnant.

When I went off the pill, my boobs hurt for a month straight. They were also hard as a rock! Unfortunately you can't read into any of it after going off - even the ewcm. Your body is regulating and your hormones are balancing themselves out so they may be wacky for a little bit.

hey everybody.. sooo i'm still waiting for my period.. :( if i ovulated the day i thought i'm 15 dpo already.. cramping on and off ever since.. no more sore bbs only shooting pain in one occasionally.. also cramping isnt dull.. i'm experiencing sharp pain on right side, lasting few seconds..

My first month off bc was last month. I too felt like i was going crazy i had sore boobs and nipples which I never had in my life. My nipples were leaking and i felt shock like pains in them off and on. I too had ewcm and also had crampy/ pressure feeling in uterus. I was a week late and had cramping almost all month off and on. This month seems to be going smoother so far!

I'm also currently in my first cycle off BCP and I was on it for almost 2 years. I started charting immediately and everything is out of whack. My BBT has been fluctuating between a very low 96.05 and a pretty high 98.55 (high for me at least). My CM has not changed AT ALL...it's basically been just wet for 2.5 weeks (bleh)

Not to mention the slight depression dip I had and the extreme fatigue/anxiety. All weird! DH and I are also waiting a few months to TTC (although if it happens, we'd be just fine with that) but it's making it hard to track by ovulation method when everything is jacked up!

Anyway, I won't be near AF for a couple of weeks still, but I wanted to say I feel your pain! I'd love to have some updates!

Oh, and sharp pain on one side....could be those pains you get when you ovulate (what are they called? meinhetfajs;dklfjas;dfkj ...something German haha) Just a thought!

Keep us updated. Me and my DH are NTNP too, but we didn't pull out. I also just went off my BC because it was making me dry. We BD on the 16th and the 17th and according to the calender I should have O starting on the 17th. And I believe it was right because I had these pinching pains in my lower abdomen. So that means we BD right around the right time. I should know for sure by the first of Aug, but I keep wishing the time will get here already. This is the first time I ever truly believed there could be baby and I'm eager to know LOL. This will be the longest 2 weeks ever.

BTW, I didn't have any other symptoms coming off my BC. No breast pain or cramping (yet) I had what felt like O pain yesterday but that was about it. I think everyone is different coming off of certain BC.

Yesterday, I had some very light brown spotting in the morning and some light cramping, but nothing else at all since. I'm wondering if that is the implantation bleeding I keep hearing about or just a small reaction to my body going off the BC.

I have a FRE in hand and may test the day before or 2 days before AF is supposed to visit. I don't think I'll test any earlier than that since I only have one test and if I am going to use the Early part of it I want it to be closer to the arrival. If I get A BFN and AF still hasn't came, I'm supposed to go visit the health department anyway and can be tested there again after the fact.
